Xenoblade mini-preview

"The new Famitsu gives images and story and gameplay info about Xenoblade for the Wii." - RPG Land's Heath Hindman

I actually wanna go out and buy a Wii for this game it sounds very interesting. Shame it has nothing to do with Xenogears or Xenosaga both games need a sequal badly.

Proxy5905d ago

Yes, I was hoping for another Xenogears/saga game.

Tony P5905d ago

Yeah, shame. But the story sounds interesting on it's own to me at least.

Millah5905d ago (Edited 5905d ago )

We don't know exactly that it has nothing to do with Xenogears/saga.

Xenosaga technically had nothing to do with Xenogears, but it was Takahashi reimagining Xenogears Perfect Works Episode 1 (Xenogears was actually episode 5 of Perfect Works). Xenosaga 1/2 were supposed to be the only ones resembling Perfect Works ep.1, but since Namco screwed it up all three ended up just finishing off episode 1.

Now Xenoblade could be like what Xenosaga was, except for Perfect Works episode 2 this time. The theme and the setting all match up with episode 2, so I'm willing to bet this will feel very much like a Xeno game, while not officially being related (due to legal reasons).

Either way I can't wait. Its already obvious from this article that there will be heavy religous undertones, which is what Xeno is famous for.

Wow watching the trailer really shows the improvements they have now,
and that music sounds so much like Kingdom Hearts!!!!
The shots in the magazine look so dam good, I cant wait for this game

qface645905d ago

i agree looking at that old trailer then looking at the scans HUGE upgrade

ChickeyCantor5905d ago (Edited 5905d ago )

Yes the new scans look far better.

sashimi5905d ago

For the wii only? =( come to the Ps3 please since it looks very good and i like the art style. I really don't want to borrow my friends wii since i hate using the wii controller.

Ricdeau5905d ago

Unfortunately it won't be on the PS3. Nintendo bought out majority of Monolith Soft (80%) and now they are a first party Nintendo developer. I will be buying a Wii because of this game.

na-no-nai5905d ago

yeah too bad its nintendo first party lol

im looking forward to this game :P

Letros5905d ago

R.I.P. Xenogears, your storyline will be missed, it's a shame Squaresoft did not want to follow up on the series.

fatstarr5905d ago

never know. when they need to milk the cow in a dry year they might make something new :D.

Millah5905d ago

If Monolith and Takahashi aren't making the game, then it might as well not even be Xenogears. And since Nintendo owns Monolith, that isn't going to happen. Unless Square gives up the rights to Xenogears, which also isn't going to happen.

Ugh I can't believe Takahashi got screwed over twice trying to finish his Xenogears Perfect Works storyline.

Switch Port When?: 45 Games We Want to See on Nintendo's Sometimes Portable Console

This month marks the second anniversary of the Nintendo Switch. Ever since the console's reveal in early 2017, Nintendo's unique home and portable device has captivated millions. Since 2017, the Switch has seen evermore titles released for it, from both large studios to countless indie developers, thanks to Nintendo's "Nindies" push. The Switch quickly became so popular that any new promising game that gets announced without a Switch port immediately causes people to ask when the Switch version is coming.

Tigerblud2579d ago

I'll add Trails of Cold Steel and Danganronpa series.

flaming_scorpion2579d ago (Edited 2579d ago )

There’s actually rumors that Danganronpa 1+2 may be coming to Switch. That’d be hella dope

Neonridr2579d ago

because if Nintendo fans want any games they are port begging. If Sony fans want games like Bayonetta, it's common sense.
